Many
prosperous private companies devote a fair share of their annual
profits to humanitarian projects each year. It is therefore
appropriate that they thoroughly consider their options before
choosing to invest in those projects.

One generally
tends to think of humanitarian projects in terms of direct help to
human beings through the creation of hospitals, orphanages or, the
distribution of goods of first necessity to the poorest
populations of the Third World for instance. These used to be the
only types of actions that could possibly help human beings. But
our world has changed enormously over the past two
decades.

The impact
humanity has on Earth is so powerful now that it has indeed
created the conditions of a mass extinction including our own
human specie in a relatively short term. Unfortunately, this
danger is seriously underestimated.

So the
priority must change, and the necessary sums must be invested to
restore nature everywhere.

In
today's world, as we will demonstrate, it becomes increasingly
beneficial to consider investing in nature's conservation,
protection of the species threatened by extinction, and
education on these subjects.

Leaders in
many industries are the ones who have great potentiel to help
solve major issues like our possible mass extinction wich
threatens their own existence as corporations in the end because
they quite simply wouldn't have any clients left if we, as humans,
could no longer live on Earth. And as we will show, this is a real
possibility which could occur sooner than most of us would like to
think, that is to say in our own lifetime.

We now know
for a fact that "It's a small world after all " and we don't
have anywhere else to go! This planet truly is our village.

We are certain
that enough of you who have the power to do so, will pick up on
this urgent matter and decide to help make the necessary changes
in this world so that our lives and that of our children will go
on.

" The human impact on
natural ecosystems has reached dangerous levels, according to US
conservationists.

A report by the
Washington DC-based World Resources Institute (WRI) says human
activities have also begun to significantly alter the Earth's
basic chemical cycles.

The report is the result
of a collaboration between WRI, the United Nations Development and
Environment Programmes, and the World Bank.

It calls on policymakers
to use an ecosystem-based approach when negotiating international
agreements.

The global assessment of
the state of coastal, forest, grassland, freshwater and
agricultural ecosystems was released in the Norwegian city of
Bergen during a conference of world environment ministers.

It painted a gloomy
picture of over-fished oceans, excessive pumping of water for
farming, and destruction of coral reefs and
forests."

Satellite data

Humankind
impact: 50 % of our earth.

" The document is based
on a $4m investigation, the Pilot Assessment of Global Ecosystems
(Page), that used about 100 earlier assessments of various
ecosystems and regions, as well as new data from satellite imaging
and other forms of remote sensing.

Page will be followed by
a larger $20m Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, due to begin in
2001.

Every measure used by
scientists to assess the health of the world's ecosystems tells us
that we are drawing on them more than ever and degrading them at
an accelerating pace," Dr Klaus Topfer, executive director of the
UN Environment Programme, said in a statement.

"We depend on ecosystems
to sustain us, and their continued good health depends, in turn,
on how we take care of them, he added. "

The report identified
several examples of the stresses human activities are causing on
the world's major ecosystems:

half the world's wetlands were lost during the last
century;

logging and land conversion have reduced forest cover by at
least 20%, and possibly by as much as 50%;

about 9% of the world's tree species are at risk of extinction;

nearly 70% of the world's major marine fish stocks are either
over-fished, or are being fished at their biological
limit;

in the last half century, soil degradation has affected
two-thirds of the world's agricultural land.

Water demand
:

" The effect of
the growing demand for water is also singled out in the report.

Dams and engineering works have strongly or moderately
fragmented 60% of the world's large river systems. They have so
impeded flows that the length of time it takes the average drop
of river water to reach the sea has tripled."

And
the authors say it is not simply individual ecosystems that are being
stressed to the limits.

"This strikes at the
foundation of ecosystem functioning and adds to the fundamental
stresses that ecosystems face at a global scale.

The report expresses
particular concern about increased levels of carbon dioxide and
nitrogen.

And the authors say too
little attention is paid at any level to the role ecosystems play
in sustaining life. "In most nations, and in most local practices,
there is little use of the idea of ecosystems as essential
biological elements that touch daily life and
business.

At an international
level, there is little use of the ecosystem approach when shaping
agreements on trade, agriculture, forests, or water use."

Here is
astrophysicist Hubert Reeves' opinion on
mankind's
future

By the year 2050, 25% of
all Earth's living species will have been exterminated. The last
time such an event occurred was 65 million years ago when a
meteorite fell on Earth and exterminated 50% of them But
lets pretend there is still hope. It is necessary to be
voluntarily optimistic. I do not wish the disappearance of the
human race! In any event, only two scenarios are possible: humans
either manage to control their influence or they
selfdestroy.

There is
most definitely great potential for this piece of land to serve as
a magnificent exemple of nature at its best and we can certainly
envision the creation of many more such places throughout the
world in order to fulfill our mission which is the salvation of
humankind.

Khao Phra
Thaew is already invaluable. Let this treasure be kept alive and
let it be known to this world on the verge of its own extinction.
It will happen if nature isn't preserved.

Will you
please help us "let it be" ?

III
Assuring the survival of wildlife is therefore assuring our own
survival.

What
could possibly be more important to the human race than its own
salvation ?

Make no
mistake about it. Having human beings understand this through
education while preserving wildlife wherever possible is key to
our future as the leading specie on this planet, our wonderful
spaceship, which we deteriorated very rapidly over the last
century alone by the missuse of many manmade inventions.
Interestingly, those very same inventions or discoveries can often
be used effectively in order to reverse the situation. But that
only becomes possible when man understands that preserving the
environment, even helping it to get back into a thing for him to
do, because if he doesn't do it that actually better shape right
now is the most beneficial means his end, purely and
simply.

It requires
vision, a higher level of purpose, of conciousness, to express
itself through the human race as a whole in order for this
situation to reverse itself. This can be obtained through
information and education. Mankind needs to be steered away from
meaningless pursuits that are frustrating and stressing it along
the way while leaving it empty in the end. This is making people
sick. Tending to the sick is necessary but preventing people from
getting sick in the first place is far more potent in the end.

IV
For the sponsors : a world class position in public opinion.

We
definitely offer you an opportunity to position yourselves as
prevention advocates, true problem solvers.

This requires
vision because the profound effects of such projects take a while
to manifest themselves but are there to stay and that is the
beauty of prevention and the reason why it is the ultimate
solution to really solve any problem Making sure the problem
doesn't arise again.

The work
may be harder but once completed, its benefits do not cease, they
multiply !

" Give a
hungry man a fish and he is fed for the day. Teach him to fish and
he is set for life."

He can even
teach others

We want to
teach humanity how to save itself from its own
extinction.

Lets set
humankind for life, how about it ?

Don't you find
it absolutely necessary ? We sure do !

And we're not
alone.

V
Let us show you exactly how we can develop informational and
educational tools.

It will
be very useful to educate Thailand's youth on the natural richness
of its country and have it feel the need to hand it down intact to
future generations. For that, school visits accompanied by
teachers must be organised with the agreement of the Ministry for
Thai Education.

Thai's
charming traditions.

More important
still, will be the creation of an "International University of
Nature and Earth" that will have a location on the premiss to
allow for the formation of some of the future elite leaders of the
world, right there in the heart of this virgin forest, before they
begin their professional life. They will learn what are the
ecological links connecting all the human activities with all life
forms of all the terrestrial ecosystems. Associated to that will
be a Research Institute on all the Applications of Techno Sciences
likely to quickly fix and repair the imminent dangers of the
current rupture of the physico chimic balances of the ecosystems
of our planet.
